Dear Gromacs Users, I have a protein lipid bilayer system built using Gromacs 4.5.4 and charmm27 FF. Now, i want to equilibrate the built in system using NPT ensemble, for that i have made to mdp files and as i have never used Charmm, I am not sure whether the mdp files i am using are correct, so I want to know your any suggestions and corrections in my mdp files (below), so that i can use the corrected mdp file to simulate the system.
